You may look through the Website without giving us any personal data about yourself.
If you sign up to receive our news alerts, we ask you to provide your email address. If you wish to submit an application via the Website to join D&A Consult or one of its group companies, we ask you to complete an online Application Form and to submit a CV and/or other relevant information.

If you are not appointed to the role for which you apply, we will keep your completed Application Form, CV and other information on file for a reasonable period in order to contact you with alternative employment opportunities, unless you do not want us to do so. We provide you with an opportunity to opt out of the retention of your personal data for such purposes at the time of submission of your Application Form.

You may also provide us with personal data if you use the Contact Us form, which is provided on our Website to help us manage requests, or if you communicate with us in some other way.

[Please note that you will be asked to provide documentation of your eligibility to work in the UK if you are invited to attend the next stage of the recruitment process with us.]

If you give us information about another person, you confirm that they have appointed you to act for them, to consent to the processing of their personal data including sensitive personal data and that you have informed them of our identity and the purposes (as set out in this privacy statement) for which their personal data will be processed. Where you provide information about referees, you should ensure that they have given their permission.

We may need to share your information with our service providers and agents for the above purposes.

Cookies

What are cookies?

Cookies are text-only files placed onto your computer by websites. They are used to help websites remember who you are, tailor content to you and track visitor trends, but cannot be used by themselves to identify you.

The Website uses two kinds of cookies:

1. Session cookies: these are cookies that expire at the end of browser sessions. They live on users computers only as long as users browse through the Website. They are ASP.NET cookies and their purpose is to allow the Website to link the actions of a user while browsing. For example, remembering what information you have inputted to the “Contact us” form so if you browse to a different page and then go back to the form the information is still there. They are encrypted, do not store users’ identifiable information on them and they are essential to help you navigate the site.

2. Google Analytics cookies: these are third-party cookies stored permanently on a visitor’s computer that allow the preferences or actions of users across the Website to be remembered. They are then used by Google Analytics to generate their reports accordingly (i.e. to identify whether users are new or returning). The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website (including your IP address) will be forwarded to Google servers in the US. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
